Hello, everyone!
In this article, I will show you in detail how to install a new GPON board in OLT. You can see all the most important commands in my special article - Main commands for work with GPON service boards.
For this example, I use OLT MA5800-X15, GPON service board is H901GPHF.
After installing the GPON board (in slot 2), it takes a short time for the OLT to detect and recognize the service board. Next, we use the following command to check this:
TEST(config)#display board 0
{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:
display board 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlotID BoardName Status SubType0 SubType1 Online/Offline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
0

2 H901GPHF Auto_find

7
8 H903MPLA Active_normal
9 H903MPLA Standby_normal
10 H902PILA Normal
11 H902PILA Normal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see our GPON board H901GPHF in slot 2 and status is Auto_find. We have to confirm GPON board with next command:
TEST(config)#board confirm 0/2
0 frame 2 slot board confirms successfully
We can use next command, again:
TEST(config)#display board 0
{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:
display board 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlotID BoardName Status SubType0 SubType1 Online/Offline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 H903MPLA Active_normal
9 H903MPLA Standby_normal
10 H902PILA Normal
11 H902PILA Normal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a short time, the board will change from Config status to Normal status.
TEST(config)#display board 0
{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:
display board 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlotID BoardName Status SubType0 SubType1 Online/Offline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

11 H902PILA Normal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we have 2 or more GPON boards, for confirming all boards, we can use this command:
TEST(config)#board confirm 0 .
Now, our H901GPHF board is ready for configuration. First, we enter the interface 0/2 and, after that, we configure each port as follows (X=0-15):
TEST(config)#interface gpon 0/2
TEST(config-if-gpon-0/2)# port X ont-auto-find enable
TEST(config-if-gpon-0/2)# port X fec enable
TEST(config-if-gpon-0/2)# port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode X max-bandwidth-usage
After this configuration, we can check it with the next command:
TEST(config-if-gpon-0/2)#display this
{ <cr>|include-default<K>||<K> }:
Command:
display this
[gpon]
<gpon-0/2>
interface gpon 0/2
port 0 ont-auto-find enable
port 0 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 0 max-bandwidth-usage
port 1 ont-auto-find enable
port 1 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 1 max-bandwidth-usage
port 2 ont-auto-find enable
port 2 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 2 max-bandwidth-usage
port 3 ont-auto-find enable
port 3 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 3 max-bandwidth-usage
port 4 ont-auto-find enable
port 4 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 4 max-bandwidth-usage
port 5 ont-auto-find enable
port 5 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 5 max-bandwidth-usage
port 6 ont-auto-find enable
port 6 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 6 max-bandwidth-usage
port 7 ont-auto-find enable
port 7 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 7 max-bandwidth-usage
port 8 ont-auto-find enable
port 8 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 8 max-bandwidth-usage
port 9 ont-auto-find enable
port 9 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 9 max-bandwidth-usage
port 10 ont-auto-find enable
port 10 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 10 max-bandwidth-usage
port 11 ont-auto-find enable
port 11 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 11 max-bandwidth-usage
port 12 ont-auto-find enable
port 12 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 12 max-bandwidth-usage
port 13 ont-auto-find enable
port 13 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 13 max-bandwidth-usage
port 14 ont-auto-find enable
port 14 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 14 max-bandwidth-usage
port 15 ont-auto-find enable
port 15 fec enable
port dba bandwidth-assignment-mode 15 max-bandwidth-usage
#
return
And the end, we have to exit from interface 0/2 and save this configuration. This is a very important step. After each configuration, we must use the next command to save the configuration:
TEST(config-if-gpon-0/2)#quit
TEST(config)#save
{ <cr>|configuration<K>|data<K>|logfile<K> }:
After that, we can connect ONTs on the GPON board. In this example, there are two ONTs on the PON ports: 0/2/1 and 0/2/11. We can see these ONTs with next command:
TEST(config)#display ont autofind all
{ <cr>||<K> }:
Command:
display ont autofind all

In this article, I described a case of a basic GPON board configuration with standard optical lines and no problems.
Thank you!
